Lewis Avenue Bridge, Atascadero CA

This aesthetically pleasing Tubular Steel Pipe Arch Truss Bridge in the City of Atascadero over Atascadero Creek. The bridge is approximately 164 feet long and 64 feet wide. The bridgeâ€™s concrete deck and structural members will be supported by suspension cables. This type of structure was used due to hydrology clearance which kept the deck thickness to a minimum.

A temporary trestle four feet away from the new bridge edge of deck was constructed outside the wetted area of the creek to allow the contractor to cross the creek. The temporary trestle will be 16 feet wide.
